Re: [alac] Mar del Plata schedule

[Denise Michel <michel@xxxxxxxxx>]

What meeting schedule does the ALAC want to submit for Mar del Plata? 
ICANN needs to confirm meeting arrangements.

In addition to Vittorio's suggestions (see below), our Latin American 
ALAC members are considering a Lat. American/Carib. At-Large Workshop on 
Sunday afternoon (what is the status??).

I'll be submitting the following schedule to ICANN on Friday so the ALAC 
has something reserved.  Please share any suggested changes before then. 
The ALAC's ability to change meeting room requirements will become 
increasingly difficult as time passess.  I have no additional 
information on the overall ICANN schedule beyond what is posted.

Sunday, 3 April 2005
     * Latin America/Caribbean Regional At-Large Workshop (12:00 - 5:00 
pm) (public) (hold room for 75)

Monday, 4 April 2005
     * ALAC internal meeting (no time slot yet) (not public) (ALAC 
meeting room; 15 people)

Tuesday, 5 April 2005
    * At-Large Advisory Committee meeting (public) (no time slot yet) 
(hold room for 50 people)

Wednesday, 6 April 2005
    * ALAC internal meeting (no time slot yet) (not public) (ALAC 
meeting room; 15 people)

Thursday, 7 April 2005
    * ALAC internal meeting (after forum until evening) (not public) 
(ALAC meeting room; 15 people)

Thanks.

Denise
